Blue Cold Shoulder Maxi

blue cold shoulder maxi

Dress c/o of Tobi | Necklace (Similar) |  Bracelet |  Bracelet | Bracelet (Similar) | Shoes (Similar)

It’s officially summer –sort of. Technically, June 21, but it’s hot enough in Atlanta to be officially summer. This means all the summer events are in full-swing. Weddings, graduations, festivals, showers, etc. So it’s officially time to update the summer wardrobe.

I am obsessed with this Grecian blue cold-shoulder maxi from Tobi.com. My favorite feature is how it flows behind me when I walk. I feel like Helen of Troy in this dress. Side note, when I introduce myself to people and they look confused because I have an old-lady name, I always follow it up with “like Helen of Troy.” So I’m really fulfilling my destiny with this dress.

I love any cool-colored pieces because I’m so pale and blonde. This piece fits perfectly into my closet. However, it would also look amazing with a tan. It’s just a gorgeous dress all around. Also, remember how I mentioned it’s hot in the ATL? This fabric is light, flowy and breathable, so hashtag blessed, am I right?

How are y’all kicking off summer? I’m spending every spare moment at the pool or drinking a margarita. If it’s a particularly good day then I am doing both!

    I adored this dress on you. I am so excited that it’s warm in Texas because it is an excuse for me to wear a maxi every day. I am getting ready to leave for another trip abroad the bulk out of my outfits are maxi dresses so that I can be cute but comfortable.

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      June 9, 2017 at 12:03 am
